## About

```text
I've managed daily and monthly bookkeeping for Underground Kitchen, supporting its restaurant, catering, and nonprofit operations. I process AP/AR, vendor invoices, client billing, inventory records, deposits, bank reconciliations, and payroll support while improving record-keeping accuracy.

At the University of Florida College of Medicine's Department of Neurology, I executed more than 100 monthly purchase orders and reconciled thousands of financial records. I maintained journals, ledgers, and systems tracking millions of dollars, supported annual budget preparation, and handled procurement, accounts payable, reimbursements, and travel funding for 300 faculty members.

I've worked in compliance-driven environments, including University, state, federal, HIPAA, and Animal Welfare Act requirements. I also designed new departmental travel procedures during the 2023 travel-system overhaul and trained five administrative assistants on financial and travel policy.

My earlier hospitality and animal care roles strengthened my operational leadership, inventory management, receiving, workflow coordination, and team communication. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish.
